'South Park' writer skewers Trump with new parody website
A writer for the popular animated show South Park launched a new parody website on Sunday that turns one of President Donald Trump's latest accomplishments into a mesmerizing self-own.
Last week, reporting indicated that Toby Morton, who has written for South Park and Mad TV, previously purchased multiple domain names associated with Trump's attempted rebrand of the Kennedy Center. On Sunday, Morton launched the TrumpKennedyCenter.org website, which includes several not-so-subtle digs at the president's second administration and his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The logo for the website includes jail cells with prisoners and a redacted slogan about Trump and a "13-year-old girl," a reference to the heavily redacted files that the Trump administration released about the Epstein case.
It also describes the rebranded center as a "national institution devoted to power and loyalty."
"Welcome to TrumpKennedyCenter.org," the website reads in part. "A national cultural center dedicated to legacy, loyalty, and the careful presentation of history."
"Here, tradition is preserved, narratives are curated, and performances are elevated beyond mere art. What is remembered matters. What is omitted matters more," it added. "We invite you to experience culture as authority, pageantry as truth, and excellence as defined by those in power."
Trump has been trying to rebrand the Kennedy Center as the Trump-Kennedy Center for several months, despite calls for him to abandon the plan. The center was created by federal law after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Morton reportedly predicted that Trump would opt to rename the center after himself and purchased several domains that could be used to create a new website. Morton has also purchased TrumpKennedyCenter.com.
